Hi, i have recently started w/c as most on here prob know,

I have an old van, but i wish to trade it in soon and buy one around 2 or 3 years old, using mine as full deposit

Can anyone tell me the best deal they got if local to me, if not then i am sure some of you used a nationwide company,

can anyone suggest anyone please.

Hi Gaz,I traded my Escort Estate at Robinsons Motors for my Citroen Dispatch.
They did me a good deal.
They are on Doncaster road just before Superbowl on left hand side coming out of Wakey.

ok ok  ... got a call from broadway... recommended from a cus in ketty... so i did it, now got 5 in broadway.... how much would you charge... old w/c charged 3.50

On Broadway they are all (if memory serves) council semis.
For these type of houses I would normally charge £6.
However if these people are used to paying £3.50 they wont wear it.
It could be worth going in at £4.50 and maybe getting most of Broadway (then put them up after 6 months).
My sister has just moved into 102 Dacre Ave and needs a window cleaner.
I cleaned them for her the other day and the next door neighbour asked if I would start doing theirs.
I refused saying this is a one off favour for my sister.
I would have given them your details but you withhold your number when you ring me.
As I say even though it is underpriced work is work and when you are starting up it can be used to tide you over,then when you get better stuff drop them or bang the price up.
We recently did this on a street in Wrenthorpe.
We underpriced initially and said after 6 months we would up the price.
We cleaned 16 houses (all next to each other) for a fiver each which was £80 of work.
We the increased the price to £6.
We lost 4 customers.
The result was we now clean 12 customers earning £72.
After 2 cleans they came and asked us to restart them.
Final result we clean 16 customers for £96 instead of £ 80.
I know you are probably fed up of hearing this but it really is a numbers game.
If you have 50 cleans at a fiver and you put them all up by a quid you may lose 5 or 6 cleans.
However the reulst is 50 cleans for £250 or 45 cleans for £270.
Go for it mate.

well i got them all at a fiver every 2 weeks

good eh

[petski2]

Excellent 5X£5=£25 every 2 weeks.
Thats £50 every 4 weeks.
£12.50 a week.
Keep it up mate,surprising how it mounts up.
Good luck.
